[BugFix] Fix KV cache sizing and allocation for hybrid Mamba/attention models#37
Conversation
Add explicit KV cache memory-model metadata, compact request-constant block pools, and pool-aware config/manager/worker handling for hybrid Mamba and attention models. Mamba cache mode 'all' keeps the legacy token-proportional path. Unsupported request-constant combinations fail closed for prefix caching, offload, connector, and full CUDA graph paths.

When a model has only REQUEST_CONSTANT groups (for example Mamba with mamba_cache_mode='none'/'align') and num_gpu_blocks_override is set, bytes_per_block becomes 0 and this line forces available_memory to exactly request_constant_bytes. The later mixed-model allocator rejects reserved_bytes >= available_memory, so startup fails with a ValueError even though the override should be a no-op in this configuration. This makes num_gpu_blocks_override unusable for request-constant-only models.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

This guard only scans attn_groups, so it misses request-constant non-attention groups (e.g., Mamba) present in kv_cache_config. In hybrid Mamba+attention models, allocate_uniform_kv_caches can then continue instead of failing closed, and if tensor sizes happen to match it may build attention-layout views for non-attention layers; otherwise it trips a later assertion instead of the intended explicit NotImplementedError. The compatibility check should inspect kv_cache_config.kv_cache_groups (or pool metadata), not just attention groups.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Summary
Fix KV cache sizing for hybrid Mamba/attention models, mainly the Qwen3.5/3.6 GDN path.
Mamba state in
mamba_cache_mode="none"and"align"is per-request, not per-token. The old code handled it like normal attention KV, which wastes attention capacity and makes tensor sizing harder.This separates request-constant Mamba/GDN groups into a compact pool.
mamba_cache_mode="all"keeps the old shared-pool behavior.Changes
